North Island Road Trip

After trading in Blackhole for the vastly superior Shenzou, we made our way to the North Island. Here we had only 6 days to explore before meeting a friend in Auckland, so we crammed as much as we could into our short time.

After an amazingly luxurious ferry ride on which I watched the children’s classics Monsters Inc and Mars needs Moms, we headed into Wellington to begin the second part of our adventure.

We had a fantastic time driving through deserts, sheep farms and forests, stopping in Wellington, Auckland, and some smaller towns. The north island had a totally different feel from the south, and was much warmer too!
